Your favorite social media apps [PC Brain Trust]

July 15th 2010 | Posted by Robert Werlinger

We asked you what your favorite social media application were, and you responded en masse.  Here are the apps that you and your fellow PreCentral readers simply cannot do without in the social media scene:

Facebook for webOS, free:  Developed by Palm’s developer relations team, this Facebook app has seen rapid growth and is well on its way to becoming on of the best on any platform.

 

Tweed, $2.99:  One of the first and one of the best Twitter apps in the Catalog (and this blogger’s personal favorite), Tweed’s simplicity and speed have a good number of you hooked.

 

LinkedIn, free:  It’s like Facebook, but exclusively for your professional goings on.  It hasn’t been updated much since hitting the App Catalog last year, but it does the basics and it does them well.
 

Foursquare, free:  Zhephree’s excellent Foursquare client let’s you "check-in" to venues in style, all while updating your friends on your whereabouts via Twitter and Facebook and competing with them for mayorships at your favorite locals. 

Digloo, $1.99:  A great Digg app for webOS that does everything you’d expect Digg to do while mobile: Digg and bury stories and comment, browse individual topics relevant to your interests and other such Digg-ey things.

Palm Developer Podcast series episode 5 now online, delves into the Facebook app

June 18th 2010 | Posted by Robert Werlinger

The fifth installment of Palm’s ongoing Developer Podcast series hosted by Ben and Dion is now online.  The subject matter this time around is Palm’s Facebook application and the Developer Relations team’s experience in developing a production app utilizing the same tools and methods as you developers out there use when you create an application.  The first several minutes are spent summarizing their time spent at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco that went down in March (which dates the video), while the rest of the podcast explores the code and methodology that went into making the Facebook what it is today by delving deep into the code and walking you though how they took advantage of the framework, Facebook API’s, and much more.

Catch the video after the break.
